Default 21" front what are you guys running?

I am going to do a 21" big spoke on my Electra Glide and kinda wondering what you guys are running. They offer it in a 21x2.15 or a 21x3.5 not sure what to get. Also what tire size are you guys running? Pics of big spokes would be nice too because im trying to see if I want white wall or not on a black bike.

you have two choice, 21"x3 or 21"x3,5; 2,15 will too small. Here's my buddy's RK with mammoth spokes (21"x3)

I'd like to know what everyone did about the suspension when going to a 21".

I lowered the front of mine to compensate for the bigger wheel and it rides like crap, not a happy camper. Getting to the point I might just sell my wheels and go back to stock. I don't mind the bike looking better, but it at least needs to ride like stock, not worse......

I to did the 21" front. I lowered it 1" and Im running a single disk. If I had to do it all over I would have used 2 front disk. It ride good just stopping is not as good as stock. Still love the look.
